OIL VAPQRIZER AND BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 756,410, dated April 5,1904:.

Application filed April 8, 1903. Serial No. 150.875. model.)

To (all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, GRANVILLE S. RIDER. a citizen of the United States,residing at Elmhurst, in the county of Queens and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Vaporizers andBurners, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to hydrocarbon-burners, and particularly to thatclass known as hydrocarbon-vapor burners, and has for its object asimplification of the. operative parts, efiectiveness in the operationof the vaporizing parts, and facility in cleaning the .oilsupply tube.

According to my invention I employ a burner of suitable form providedwith one or more flame-orifices and located within a heating-chamber.According to my invention the oil supply pipe penetrates into theheatingchamber and is exposed therein to the flame of the burner, andwithin the supply and vaporizing pipe means are provided for breakingany carbon deposits and cleaning the pipe, such cleaning meanscomprising a plurality of connected parts movable relatively to eachother. This cleaning means also assists in the vaporization of the oil.I

My invention contemplates, further. improvements in construction and inthe combination of parts more fully hereinafter set forth.

I will now describe the construction of hydrocarbon-burner shown in theaccompanying drawings and embodying my invention and will thereafterpoint out my invention in claims.

- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the burner. Fig. 2 is a plan viewof the same. Fig. 3 represents the ends of the oil-vaporizing pipe,showing the cleaning means.

My device is shown as a heater for an upright boiler. The boiler-casing1 is provided with a rest 2, upon which the rear end of the supportingcentral tube 3 of the burner rests.-

The other support is formed by the penetration of the tube throughthe'casing of the boiler, and the front end of the tube projects orizingpipe.

rior metallic heating means.

forward slightly from the boiler and is enlarged to form a flaming-mouth4. The central tube 3 is provided with branchmgtubes 5, which arearranged to cover the heating area of the boiler, and the central tube 3and the branches 5 are provided with flame-orificcs 6. The oil supplyand vaporizing pipe 7 penetrates the boiler-casing and has one or moreturns within the heating-chamber directly above the flame-orifices ofthe burner and passes out of the heating-chamber to connect with theinjector and other parts of the apparatus and is providediwith couplings8 and 9, located outside of the heating-chamber, and each coupling isprovided with a screw cap or plug 10 and 11, respectively, and to theseplugs are attached the ends of a chain 12, which extends completelythrough the vap- The functions of this chain are to provide a readymeans for breaking any carbon deposits in the vaporizing-pipe andcleaning out this pipe and also to separate the oil into thin layers andto force the oil to flow in contact with the Wal1s-of the tube in thinlayers, so as to be more quickly .vaporized. By the irregularity of itsshape it sets up currents in the oil flowing through the pipe, so thatall portions of the fluid oil will be moved about in contact with theheated walls of the pipe, and it also acts as an inte- VVhen it isdesired to clean out the vaporizing-pipe, the plugs 10 and 11 areunscrewed, and the eyes connecting the chain to these plugs are fittedto freely swivel, so that the chain will not interfere with theunscrewing or screwing up of the plugs. After the plugs have beenremoved the chain may be pulled first at one end and then at the other,and thus the chain will be reciprocated in the pipe. The several linksare capable of independent lateral movement, and the chain will act as ahighlyeifective cleaning device, breaking up all carbon deposits andrubbing clean the interior of the pipe.

The vaporizing-pipe 7 is provided with a coupling 13 outside of thecombustion-chamber, to which is attached a pipe 14, which includesacoil15, and the pipe 14 joins the main supply-pipe prior to its entranceinto the in- The pipe 7 is also provided with a.

jector. valve or cook 16, located just beyond the point at which thepipe 14 branches therefrom, and this cock 16 regulates the supply ofoil-vapor to the injector and burner. The branch pipe 14: is alsoprovided with a valve or cook 25 beyond the coil 15. When the burner isstarted, the coil 15 is heated byany suitable means, such as the lamp ortorch 17, (shown in Fig. 1,) and the branch-pipe cook is then turned on,the main pipe cock 16 remaining closed, and this operation is continueduntil the burner has sufficiently heated the vaporizing-pipe 7 tovaporize the oil therein, and then the torch is removed, the mainpipecook 16 opened, and the branch-pipe cock 25 closed.

The injector comprises avalve-stem 18, having a threaded engagement withits casing 22 and having a governing-wheel 19 at the front end thereofand a taperingvalve 20 at the rear .end thereof, this valve being shapedto the contour of the nozzle 21 and having a needlepoint. The nozzle 21is detachably connected to the casing 22 and is shown as threadedthereto, so that the nozzle may be readily removed for cleaning thenozzle and valve.

It is obvious that various modifications may be made in the constructionshown in the drawings and above particularly described within the spiritand scope of my invention.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A burner having one or more orifices constituting a flaming part, asupply and vaporizing tube exposed to the heat of the flaming part andcleaning means composed of a plurality of connected parts movablerelatively 2. A burner having one or more orifices constituting aflaming part, a supply and vaporizing tube exposed to the heat of theflaming part, and a cleaning-chain located within the supply andvaporizing tube.

3. A burner having one or more orifices constituting a flaming part, asupply and Vaporizing tube exposed to the heat of the flaming part, acleaning-chain located within the supply and vaporizing tube, andremovable closures for such tube, secured to the ends of such chain.

4. The combination of a casing forming a heating-chamber, a burner insuch heatingchamber having one or more orifices constituting a flamingpart, a supply and vaporizing tube exposed to the heat of such flamingpart and extending out from the heatingchamber at its ends, cleaningmeans composed of a plurality of parts movable relatively to each otherand located within the supply and vaporizing tube, and removableclosures for such tube located outside of the heating-chamber andsecured to the cleaning means.

5. The combination of a casing forming a heating-chamber, a burner insuch heatingchamber having one or more orifices constituting a flamingpart, a supply and vaporizing tube exposed to the heat of such flamingpart and extending out from the heatingchamber at its end, acleaning-chain located within the supply and vaporizing tube, andremovable closures for such tube located outside of the heating-chamberand secured to the ends of such chain.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my sig nature in presence of twowitnesses.
